Growing up as a first-generation American child from Trinidadian immigrant parents, most of Ameria Alleyne’s fondest memories are infused with education. Her mother was an avid reader. The adults and family members around her during childhood were formal and non-formal teachers. They all positively influenced Alleyne’s passion for education and teaching others. She was exposed to different learning experiences of her mother and great aunt, who both had inspiring, wise minds which shaped Alleyne’s views of the world.
